General GUIDELINES
(General)
_______________________________________________
"We" within these posts usually refers to all Members and/or the volunteers preforming a function
+ All Members have the option to vote on applications for acceptance and denial +
+ All Members must be counted during votes, so there will be an "I'm not voting option" +
+ We encourage players NOT to vote on their friends (though this won't be avoidable in the beginning) +
+ All applicants should check back regularly once an app is submitted: see Application Instructions for more details +
+ Realistic images for PB's please! To see an example of the application process, click here. +
+ There are no "Moderators" or "SL owners" here, only volunteers to help with the admin functions of this board. +
+ Any Member may request to be a volunteer to help manage a specific board, or for senior players, become MB Managers +
+ Play WITH your fellow players; you can talk to them about plots without giving everything away! +
+ Make things up! Yeah we said it. This is a whole universe! Build off what is already here, or fill a void! +
+ To see a complete list of credits and inspirations, click here. +
+ We ask you play all characters at least on a Bi-weekly basis except where permitted (we'll tag'em on the roster) +
+ When applying for an "as needed" character, please write that big and bold at the top of the application +
+ To spell it out... if you can give 15 characters group face-time (MB RP or Room RP) then you may play 15 characters +
+ ... of course, we do ask that you keep in mind RP moves more fluidly when you let other players play roles you're looking for... +
+ The Roster (if you haven't already looked) gives a good overview of our cast,
we recommend giving them a look before applying +
+ that's it for now +

MB GUIDELINES
(MB specific, including sign up, voting & sigs)
_______________________________________________
+ When you're accepted and are registering (if you don't already have a global account somewhere)
please choose the birthday for your character, and 1900 as the year! (birthdays will be used in RP plots) +
+ We vote on things that involve the whole SL including the set up and functionality of this board! +
+ If you don't care about a topic one way or another there will always be an "I'm not voting" option +
+ If you do not have access to include a poll on something but want one, please PM the MB manager +
+ Avatars are 150px by 150px & Signatures should be no larger than 700px by 200px +
+ You may request a signature from one of our members, once registered, by using the Graphic Request Board. +
+ We STRONGLY encourage all members to use the "Like" feature for posts and threads they find helpful, or just like! +
+ There are "Quick Links" in Orange under our The World Asunder banner, these are for your convenience! +
+ We also encourage members to use the SL Events (calendar) link when planning events or plots others can play in +
+ We encourage multiple characters for those who can manage it; this is to expand plot potential! +
+ We hope you like the plot as much as the intimate relationships because we have ideas! Check them out! +
+ RP on the MB is encouraged for starting or finishing a scene, even for a group setting +
+ MB RP is a great work-around for tough schedules or scenes that may require more thought out replies +
+ This will also help avoid plot-locks (a plot freezing because of player absence) +
+ The RP/IC sections are also open to be used for progressive story-telling! +
+ MB RP may be a LOG of room/IM RP followed by MB posts back and forth and vice-versa! +

RP & ROOM GUIDELINES
(Even if you skim read the rest, please read all these)
_______________________________________________
+ Anyone can and should open a room - just put a WA before or after the name +
+ Rooms can be as vague as "Javos WA" or as specific as "MavrikSaloonMidwayWA" +
+ Have color respect! That means if someone is playing already, try not to use that color +
+ A brb/afk announcement should be made in the room, as well as the "back" especially when IC Try not to splice RP +
+ The "welcome back" replies should be IM'd! We promote player communication anyway :-p +
+ RP usually goes turn base by room order. If the room agrees, splicing may take place with 2 players at a time +
+ Combative RP should be done however the involved players agree; if you can't agree, plot a way out of it! +
+ There are no post requirements or limits officially. We ask for prompt and timely posts above all! +
+ You snooze (3+ mins), we skip you! +
+ If you make something up on the fly in a room or IMRP that relates to the details of this verse, please share! +
